The Forgotten Legacy

“The earth remembers what we forget.”As Tammy turned the pages of a book her mother had given her before she passed away. "THE FORGOTTEN LEGACY." By my own mother! She had it printed; it must have been before she even knew she was sick. Tammy sat back in her Ford Fusion four-door and just started to cry until she could cry no longer. The pages of this book brought so much to the surface. Tammy's mother suffered from Psychotic Disorders, regularly seeing things that are not present in our world. She saw ghouls, monsters, ghosts, past abusers,...

Thought Weilder

The man packed up his car and traveled down the long road ahead of him. He left straight from his late wife's funeral. Depressed, lonely, and aggravated, the man had no idea what to do. Silently, he pleaded for a reprieve from life, something to help him out of this grief. He asked the air, the car door, anything that would answer.He stared out the window; all color had faded around him, and vibrancy had disappeared. He had lost the love of his life, and nothing around him was in color, just a faint black and white. This man did not realize ...

The Portal

Weekly Contest #346

Amanda stood frozen, staring in shock at the body she had just accidentally struck with her car. Panic and disbelief warred in her chest as she rushed to the motionless figure, desperately searching for any sign of life. There were none. Suddenly, a circle of green, blue, and purple formed in front of Amanda. It expanded, revealing a mirror-like surface. But instead of the man lying dead, in this alternate dimension, he was sitting alive. Amanda had a choice to make. "Is this real?" she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible over t...

HER

I saw her across the room and my heart beat out of my chest....I wanted to talk to her, I wanted to kiss her. She is my temptation, and I want her, but do not mistake this, I not only want her body I want her mind and I want her. Whatever separated us before will not separate us ever again. I loved her ever since I could remember. She took my breath away. I have known her since she was 2 years old. At first we were just best friends and then something happened. I started becoming more and more attracting to the woman she was becoming even at...

Chaos Grows, but thankfulness flows

Weekly Contest #226

I was already exhausted and then my mother had to add more and more drama through the night. I was fed up I had brought my 3 children to celebrate the holiday and she just would not give me the time of day. She talked to everyone but me. I could feel my anger boiling, NO-- my brain shouted NO. This year I was going to be the one to keep the peace. About 2 turkeys and 3 little gingerbread houses later I was walking down the hallway to acquire my coat so I could go smoke a cigarette to clear my head. I came upon an argument in the hallway...gr...
